Florentine hits the South Bank with ostrich eggs and superfood cocktails

In a nutshell: All day dining, soundtracked by live music and DJs on the South Bank

Summing it all up: Ostrich eggs, flatbreads, slow-cooked Sunday roasts and more artisan produce than you can shake a stick at is the order of the day at this new restaurant near Lambeth North tube.

The low-down

If you’ve ever dreamed of tucking into one one of those frankly enormous ostrich eggs - and let’s be honest, who hasn’t - then get down to Florentine near South Bank. And don't forget to bring some of your mates with you as well, because the signature dish is designed for six to share.

The ostrich egg sharing plate will form part of the new restaurant’s all-day dining menu, and will appear alongside flatbreads, slow-cooked Sunday roasts, and lots of artisan-style goodies. Saturdays will also offer a bottomless dining option, soundtracked by live music and DJs.

Drinkswise, there’ll be a bar serving up all the usual, plus British bubbles, craft beers, and superfood cocktails, so you can be a sinner and a saint at the same time.

Soft opening details: Florentine will be offering 50% off food and drink from the a la carte menu from 23-26 March 2017, when you reserve on the phone or online.
